Personally I would prefer the egg filling to be just a teeny bit stiffer like before the renovationsĬhinatown shop 285 South Bridge Road Singapore 058833 Operation hours: 9am – 10pm Each tart looks a little different as each tart is made by hand. The egg filling is more watery than I remember it to be but the balance of sweetness and the strength of the egg taste is still quite well balanced. The crust is quite fragile and flakes easily so you have to hold it quite delicately. The crust of the tart is thin and light and melts in your mouth with every bite. The tarts are shaped like a diamond which is distinctively Tong Heng. Egg tarts are best eaten while they are still piping hot. With the new facelift, I was expecting an increase in price but I was pleasantly surprised that the price per tart is still the same. There are also different colours used for boxes fitting different number of tarts and different types of tarts and cakes The packaging has also taken on a modern twist and appeals to a much younger audience with bold colours and lively visuals. While this new set up is clean and modern, the nostalgia of the old marble table and chair is lost The entire shop is now air-conditioned and the left side of the shop is converted into a café style seating area. The cakes and tarts are placed on wooden slats in perfect symmetry. Instead of the old steel display cabinets, in their place are new modern marble counter tops with minimalist display. The new store is modern and contemporary and reminds me of one of those new hipster bakery We have been visiting the shop regularly since we were kids and recently the store had a facelift. The later generations further developed the business to the current successful store at 285 South Bridge Road. First generation owner Mr Fong Chee Heng grew his business from a street peddler to a shop business at 33 Smith Street with an assortment of pastries and hot desserts as an accompaniment to tea and coffee. Tong Heng is a local Singaporean brand from the 1920s to the present day. Of late, we started to see more establishments from Hong Kong setting up stores in Singapore with super long queues and dozens of reviews on their speciality egg tart Today, this tart is no longer a Cantonese favourite but many Singaporean’s favourite tea time snack regardless of age. Egg tart as described by google is a kind of tart that consist of an outer pastry crust and is filled with egg custard and baked. As a Cantonese family, we are quite obsessed with the traditional Cantonese dim sum dessert egg tart.
